Farah (Haram)

CreationPatchouli from Indonesia asserts itself through the rarefied use of cinnamon from Ceylon. A date accord, a combination of balms (benzoin, ciste-labdanum) and tonka beans for addiction and transports us to a far away place.

Warm spiced fall scent

This fragrance is very warm and wearable on both my husband and I, and turns into something different but equally enticing on both of us. It's gourmand, but not sticky sweet.

Gourmand in the best possible way!

Posted by Stephen Jackson on 18th Jun 2017

Early on, this is a near dizzying melange of moist date, cure tobacco and just a hint of a honey enriched phenolic note. The cinnamon is gentle and even a bit cool under the dried fruit aura,but it's there, carefully blending the rich initial sweetness with the deeply smooth base notes. I'd add that I usually get a bit nauseous over tonka/vanilla/benzoin at the root, but this is such a nuanced composition that I don't mind it at all. The only downside is that I want to lick myself when I'm wearing it. (I don't recommend it!)

Beautiful Intoxicating and Addicting Scent!

Posted by Carrie Hargraves on 15th Apr 2017

Until trying Brecourt's Farah, I have never desired continually putting on the same scent so not lose the smell. For me, Farah is addicting in this way. It's so soft and subtle, yet long lasting. I'm not a perfume expert, so I can't pin point exactly what has attracted me to strongly to this perfume. Though I have always loved the smell and taste of cinnamon and vanilla, and have chosen scents that have a light musk note, which Farah has! I would highly recommend to anyone at least trying the sample to experience the most beautiful and intoxicating scent I have ever experienced!

Exotic, warm and sexy

This perfume is great! It combines all of my favorite scents - amber, patchouli, bergamot, vanilla, musk and tobacco - to create a full-bodied, warm fuzzy feeling that hugs the wearer.

If I had only one, this would be it!!!

I followed a beautiful lady and asked her, "What are you wearing?" She said, "Farah," and so I bought it!! Now I have many people ask me -- "What are you wearing? Where can I buy it?";))

Sticky, honeyed date and labdanum heaven.

Posted by Tania on 28th Aug 2016

A beautiful, sticky-sweet, gourmand resin. The cinnamon sugar and honeyed date pair so nicely with the amber-y, resinous labdanum and benzoin. Every now and then I can smell hints of the cedar, earthy tobacco, and creamy vanilla, but mostly this is a comforting, sensual, warm, amazing, honeyed & spiced amber scent. I love that the cinnamon isn't overwhelming and that the resins don't turn powdery on my skin. And the date note is so wonderful and long lasting. I'm going to be living in this scent when fall & winter's cold weather roll around. It's comforting and warm, but also very sexy and so unique.

I just ordered my second full bottle!

I love this perfume, which I think of as sexy comfort scent. I enjoy wearing it, and find it original as well as yummy, memorable and feminine without being at all cloying or overly sweet. I used up several samples and then a full bottle, and wish it came in a larger size!

chocolate spice

Posted by leisajetcollins on 7th Apr 2016

I love this perfume .farah reminds me of warm spicy cinnamon with chocolate and dates. Ideal for warmer weather but I will be wearing this anytime. I have layered this with single scents like amber or incense. Good silage and wearing time of 8 hours.

I am impressed!

Posted by Alisha on 23rd Jan 2016

This really did live up to the reputation it's earned among admirers. Delicious honeyed dates! Comforting and decadent. Yet I can see this being amazing in the summer heat, like a gourmet oasis in the scorching heat. Definitely getting a full bottle!

The most beautiful date frangrance

Posted by mochapj on 6th Jan 2016

I've been looking for a sweet, spicy fragrance with notes of dates for quite some time. It was completely random that I managed to come across Haram (Farah) but I'm so glad I did.

This scent is slightly sweet, womanly, and beautifully powdery all at the same time. It isn't cloying or overtly sugary, but honeyed and comforting.

Best name for a scent!

Posted by Unknown on 15th Nov 2015

This is one of the most distinctive and beautiful scents I've ever worn. It gets noticed!!

Delicious!

Posted by Amanda on 13th Sep 2015

This is a warm, comforting gourmand with a lovely bass note--perhaps the oud--that grounds it and keeps it from becoming sugar-sweet or wispy. The impression of dates, spices, and honey calls to mind Ormonde Jayne's Ta'if and DSH's Mahjoun, but I prefer Farah to both. I'm looking forward to wearing this when the summer heat gives way to crisp autumn days. It will be a perfect cold-weather comfort scent.

Delicious

Smells like a spice cake. I want to eat this, not wear it as a cologne. Above average rating because it doesn't make me physically ill, and it reminds me of Christmas. No desire to scrub it off.

Pleasant and adorable

Posted by Henrique Santos on 28th Jan 2013

The kookiemonster write she immediately scrubbed off this fragrance. Big mistake.

This fragrance changes a lot, the opening is very sweet but, in the middle notes, this gains another (completely different) smell. Very pleasant and adorable.

Relative of Ambre Narguile & Chergui

Posted by Rain on 11th Sep 2012

This was my favorite of my samples order. You have to be a fan of cedarwood to enjoy this fragrance. It's a cinnamon & cedarwood explosion in the beginning. It comes of as a less complex love child of Ambre Narguile & Chergui to me, both of which I have owned and enjoyed! It dries down on me with a distinct soft, leathery note from the laudanum and a warm, rich, dusty sweetness from benzoin & tonka bean. I smell tabacco more subtly than the sweet, powdery leather. If you like Ambre Narguile & Chergui you will enjoy this fragrance. If you dislike the smell of cedar then steer clear!

If you love Ambre Narguile...

Posted by othergreengirl on 29th Aug 2012

If you are a fan of Ambre Narguile, you will love Haram. You might even love it more, considering the price is far lower than that of Ambre Narguile. Haram is a cozy scent that manages to be sexy and delicious at the same time. I cannot find one thing that I dislike about this fragrance! Love love love.

Haram means "sin" or "sinful" in arabic

Posted by aldo on 13th Aug 2012

Haram is a sexy little sinful potion, sweet, resinous with hints of spice.
on me .. the notes that stand out are..
date, leather, cedar and honey.
